SkySync is now available within the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. Customers who prefer to leverage the compute power of Azure can purchase virtual machines pre-configured with SkySync from the Azure Marketplace to meet their file migration, synchronization and/or backup requirements with complete ease.

"As one of the leading public cloud service providers, Microsoft Azure offers customers a cost-effective and highly secure alternative to utilizing in-house hardware," said Mark Brazeau, CEO of SkySync. "By making SkySync fully interoperable with Azure and conveniently available through its online marketplace, we're helping customers slash CAPEX and OPEX costs. We're doing so by eliminating the need for physical, on-premises servers as well as the time and resources required to install applications or agents that, until now, have been the norm to accommodate file migrations."

By deploying SkySync within Azure, customers can migrate or synchronize their content across storage platforms without having to install any software or expand their existing IT infrastructure. Equally important, scalability issues disappear; enterprises are no longer constrained by the capacity limitations of their own hardware.

"Nearly three-quarters of the companies we surveyed in our annual IT spending research plan to increase their spending on cloud services. That's not surprising, given the economies of scale, reduction in Capex, and business agility associated with using cloud services like Azure. And now SkySync is opening the door for its users to take advantage of these benefits," said Terri McClure, senior analyst at ESG. "One of the big challenges in IT today is getting data to where it needs to be while maintaining data integrity. Wholesale content migrations can now be handled with the 'flip of a switch' since SkySync automates and conceals the complexities of managing file logistics and integrity. And security is maintained since SkySync is deployed within the client's Azure domain that is under the direct and complete control of their administrator."

Connecting an on-premises network to Azure is remarkably simple. Once an Azure account is established, customers simply provision SkySync within Azure from the online marketplace and then configure VPN routing paths. Since Azure is pay-as you-go and capacity needs can be adjusted incrementally, CAPEX and OPEX costs are significantly reduced.

It cannot be overseen or regulated by any one administrator, like a government or bank. Currently, there is no government regulation on them which also means there is no government safeguards over them. Although many are looking at Bitcoin to put money into, it would be wise to proceed with caution. Regular central banks are watching it and deciding whether or not to make them illegal (Criminalize them) and therefore make them worthless and eliminate them as competition. ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings) are something most have no idea as to what it means and how you utilize it. Where is the "Stamp of Approval" or "Stamp of Legitimacy" on some of these Bitcoin websites (how do you know you are not dealing with a scammer?)
